Hampshire Dementia Action Alliance

1. Action Plan

1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation’s role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?

We try to provide a caring place to support those with dementia and their families. We want to welcome all.

2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?

Our challenge would be our congregation accepting and understanding how to help anyone who comes to our church with dementia. We have members already trained, and people who have a friend with dementia, are ready and able but our congregation is varied.
